2. Chapter 2 INSTALLATION
2.1. SAFETY DURING INSTALLATION (MOUNTING AND WIRING)
Danger!
• 7200S solid state contactors must be installed and wired by qualified staff,
authorised to work on low voltage industrial electrical facilities.

• Units must be installed in a fan-cooled cabinet, to ensure that condensation and

pollution are excluded, with a class of at least 2 (according to IEC 60664).
We recommend fitting fan-cooled cabinets with a fan failure detection device or a
safety cut-out triggered by the internal temperature of the cabinet.
Cabinets must be closed and connected to the protective earth according to
IEC 60364 or applicable national standards.
Important!
• Units must be mounted with the heatsink positioned vertically, and with no
! obstructions above or below the unit which could reduce or hamper air flow.
If several units are fitted in the same cabinet, arrange them such that air from
one unit is not drawn in by the unit above.
The ambient temperature beneath the unit must not exceed 45°C.
Leave a gap of at least 10 mm between adjacent units.
Important!
• Nominal currents correspond to use at ambient temperatures of no more than
! 45°C. Overheating may cause incorrect operation and may even lead to
components being damaged.
Danger!
• It is the user’s responsibility to wire and protect the facility according to best
practice and applicable standards.
A suitable device, ensuring that the unit can be electrically isolated from the
supply, must be installed upline to enable work to be performed safely.
Conductor cross-sections should comply with IEC 60943.
Only use copper cables and wires rated for use at 75°C.
• Before connecting or disconnecting the unit check that power and control cables
and leads are isolated from voltage sources.
The protective earth must be connected before any other connections are made
and should be the last cable to be disconnected.
The protective earth connection terminal is marked with the symbol:

Important!
• To ensure that 7200S solid state contactors comply with Electromagnetic
! Compatibility requirements, ensure that the panel or DIN rail to which they are
attached is correctly grounded.
The ground connection, designed to ensure ground continuity, is not in any way
a substitute for the protective earth connection.
• Run low voltage and power cables in separate cable ducts or trays.

2.4.3. Fan power supply

The fan (current rating 125 A or higher) may be powered at 115 V or 230 V depending on the
product code.
The fan power supply terminal block (marked ‘FAN’) has three terminals (16 to 18).
Only one terminal (16 for 230 V or 17 for 115 V depending on the code) is to be used to
connect to a phase of the supply.
Terminal 18 (marked 0V) must be connected to the neutral of the external supply or
to the second phase (if the supply is taken between two phases).
The fan power consumption is approx. 10 VA.
If a supply other than 230 V or 115 V is used, the fan must be powered via a transformer
(see figure 2-9). Terminal capacity: 2.5 mm2; torque 0.7 Nm.

3.1. SAFETY MECHANISMS

The alarms on the 7200S solid state contactor, protect the thyristors and the load against
certain types of abnormal operation and provide the user with the information about the type
of fault.

Danger !
• Alarms are not under any circumstances a replacement for personnel protection.
• The user is responsible for installing independent safety mechanisms which
must be inspected regularly. Given the value of the requirement controlled by the
7200S, this is strongly recommended
Eurotherm can supply various types of suitable alarm detector.

3.3.1. Setting the DLF alarm

Adjusting PLF detection involves calculating and storing the value of the reference
impedance from the measured rms current and voltage values.
This can be set using the push button on the front panel. The PLF detection setting can only
be adjusted (reference impedance recalculated) in the following conditions :
• rms voltage across load is greater than 40 % of the nominal voltage
• rms current is greater than 30% of the rated current
• no over-temperature or thyristor short-circuit faults.
• each time PLF setting is required the three-phase load must be balanced.
• in order to guarantee the ull scale sensitivity, settings must be done at the load’s nominal
temperature

Note : PLF settings remain memorised even if a supply cut-out occured

3.3.2. Partial or Total Load Failure Detection

Partial Load Failure PLF monitoring involves comparing the load impedance with a
reference impedance stored during setting. This comparison allows the detection of the load
impedance increase. The load impedance is calculated from the continuous measure of the
rms values of current and voltage.
PLF detection is only possible under the following conditions :
• no over-temperature or thyristor short-circuit faults.
• rms voltage across the load greater than 40% of the nominal voltage and,
• rms load current greater than 5% of the rated current.

Total Load Failure TLF monitoring is only possible under the following conditions :
• no over-temperature or thyristor short-circuit faults.
• the rms voltage across load is greater than 40 % of the nominal voltage

3.3.3. Partial Load Failure Detection Sensitivity

Partial Load Failure Detection Sensitivity can be expressed in terms of a maximum

number of load elements connected in parallel for which the unit can detect the failure of
one element. The DLF sensitivity guaranted for identical three-phase loads connected in
parallel is : 3D coupling - 1 element out of 3
3S coupling - 1 element out of 4

3.4. SIGNALLING OF CHANNEL FOR LOAD FAULT

With the DLF option, the DLF LED flashes in particular ways to indicate the number of
controlled channel (of the two thyristor channels) on which load failure (TLF or PLF) has
occured.
Figure 3-2 shows the three types of flashing if a load failure is detected on one of the
channels of the 7200S solid state contactor.

Important !
• The number of times the DLF LED flashes indicates the thyristor channel number
connected to the failed load phase.
• In 3S three-phased load configuration, the load phase connected to the channel indicated
by the DLF LED has failed.
• In 3D three-phased load configuration, on one (or two) branch(es) of the delta connected
to the channel indicated by the DLF LED has failed.

3.5. DISABLING ALARMS AND DIAGNOSTICS

FOR LOAD FAILURE SIGNALLING
PLF fault signalling (DLF indicator and relay) can be temporarily excluded from alarms, in
order to diagnose the presence of the fault and the monitoring status, by pressing the
‘CHK / SET’ (Check / Setting) push button.
If the fault persists, DLF signalling returns to the alarm position.

4. Chapter 4 COMMISSIONING AND MAINTENANCE

4.1. SAFETY DURING COMMISSIONING AND MAINTENANCE

Please read carefully before commissioning the unit

Important!
• Eurotherm shall not be held responsible for any damage, injury, losses or expenses
! incurred by inappropriate use of the product or failure to comply with this manual.
• Accordingly the user is responsible for checking, before commissioning the unit,
that all the nominal characteristics correspond to the conditions under which it is
to be installed and used.

Danger!
• The product must be commissioned and maintained by qualified personnel, autho-
rised to work in an industrial low voltage environment. Users must not attempt to
access internal parts. The heatsink temperature may exceed 100°C. The heatsink
remains hot for approx. 15 minutes after the unit has been shut down.
Avoid touching the heatsink even briefly while the unit is operating.

4.2. COMMISSIONING
4.2.1. CHECKING THE CHARACTERISTICS
Before powering up the unit, check that the identification code corresponds to the
! code specified on the order and that the characteristics are compatible with the
facility.

4.2.1. 1. Load current

The maximum load current must be less than or equal to the nominal current value
of the solid state contactor, taking account of supply and load variations.

[Link]. Supply voltage

The nominal voltage value must be greater than or equal to the line-to-line or line-to-neutral
supply voltage (depending on the connection scheme).

Never use the unit on a supply with a voltage greater than the nominal value +10% as
! this could damage the protection components or even the thryistors.

[Link]. Input signal

The signal type is factory configured depending on the option ordered.
Check that the signal used corresponds to the input type indicated on the front panel of the
unit (LDC, HAC or ATP) page 2-8.

[Link]. Load type (DLF option)

For correct operation of the partial load failure detection system, ensures that load type
used corresponds to the product code (LTCL or SWIR).

4.2.2. CHECKING THE WIRING

[Link]. Cut-off and separation systems

It is the user’s responsibility to wire and protect the facility according to best
practice and applicable standards.

Danger!
A suitable device ensuring that the unit can be electrically isolated from the sup-
ply must be installed upline to enable work to be performed safely.

[Link]. Protective earth, power and control connections

• Before checking the wiring, ensure that the power and control wires are isolated from
power sources.
• Check that the protective earth cable is connected to the earth terminal on the unit.
• Check that the wiring corresponds to the connection diagram
(figure 2-5 for ratings of up to 100 A and figure 2-6 for ratings of 125 A and above).
• For fan-cooled units (125 A and above) check the fan power supply
(voltage, connections and fuse).
• Check the polarity of DC input signals (code LDC or ATP) see table 2-4.

4.2.3. POWER UP
[Link]. Power and auxiliary voltages and input signal
• Check that there is no input signal then power up the unit.
Check that theere is no current in the load.
• Check the auxiliary voltage for COM options (Aux2 terminal block see page 2-10).
• Apply the logic signal (LDC or HAC inputs) for a short period or the analogue signal
with a low value (ATP input) and check that the load current appears and the ‘HEAT’
LED is lit during firing.
• Apply the necessary input signal.

[Link]. Adjust the partial load failure detection setting (DLF option).
• Check that the DLF alarm operating conditions are correct and that the load failure
detection conditions are met (page 3-5).
• The partial load failure detection settings are adjusted with the push button on the front
panel of units fitted with the DLF option. The procedure and conditions for this setting are
described the ‘DLF option’ (page 3-7).

Commissioning

4.3. MAINTENANCE
• Every six months, check that the power and protective earth cables are correctly
tightened (see ‘Wiring’ section, chapter 2).
• If the load parameters change, the operation of the PLF detection must be diagnosed
(see ‘DLF option’ section chapter 3).
• If a DLF alarm occurs, check the load wiring and condition of contacts.
Use the push button to confirm the DLF alarm diagnosis.
• To ensure that the unit is cooled correctly, the heatsink should be cleaned regularly,
depending on how dirty the environment is, as should the fan protection grille for fan-
cooled units rated at 125 A or more.
Danger!
Power down the unit before cleaning and allow 15 minutes for it to cool down.

4.4. THYRISTOR PROTECTION FUSES

A high speed fuse protects the thryistors in the 7200S unit against excessive current
For current ratings up to 100 A the fuses are external.
For current ratings of 125 A and above the fuses are internal, located in a special com-
partment, under a cover held by two captive screws.
Danger!
High-speed fuses do not provide protection for the installation. Upline protection
must be fitted (non-high-speed fuses, circuit breakers).

If the ‘Fuse’ field of the product code is ‘NONE’ (i.e. the user did not order a thyristor pro-
tection fuse or the load comprises short wave infrared elements), the fuse is not supplied
(ratings 16 A to 100 A) or is not installed inside the unit (ratings 125 A and over).

Important!
! For all loads (other than short wave infrared elements), using a thyristor protection
fuse other than the recommended fuses listed in the tables below voids the product
guarantee.

EXTERNAL FUSES (up to 100 A)

An external high speed fuse protects the thyristors in 7200S units with a current rating of
16 A to 100 A.

INTERNAL FUSES (125 A to 200 A)

An internal high speed fuse protects the thyristors in 7200S units with a current rating of
125 A to 200 A.

The product code indicates whether a fuse is included in the unit ordered and the type of fuse.
With the FUSE or MSFU (Micro Switch FUse) codes, a fuse and fuse holder assembly
(corresponding to the current rating) is supplied with the product.

• FUSE code: the fuse does not have a fuse blown striker bar
• MSFU code: the fuse has a striker bar and the fuse holder is fitted with a blown
fuse microswitch to be connected by the customer.
